How much heat can an AquaArmor part take?
AquaArmor has been tested and approved for automotive underhood applications with continuous temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. AquaArmor coated parts can be processed through rubber compression, injection, and transfer molding with temperatures in the range of 300 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. • How does AquaArmor compare to E-coat and other Coatings? AquaArmor utilizes Autodeposition and provides a tight chemical bond to any steel, ductile iron, or grey iron part. Underbond corrosion and elimination of creep is typical with AquaArmor. Electrodeposition or Electro coat (E-coat) uses electrical current to coat a part. Faraday cage effect can have lightly exposed areas and limit coating in recessed voids. AquaArmor coats where the coating touches. E-coat has been driven down to a commodity status by the automotive companies. Companies have little differentiation on performance or specifiability. MetaKote and Crown are the largest E-coat houses. Most others are small regional facili
